A text is spreading across the internet that confuses the dates, causes and consequences, although, in general, the post is correct. Let's start with the fact that the Russians have been using Stalin-based proxy boards for three years now.

A text is spreading across the internet that confuses the dates, causes and consequences, although, in general, the post is correct. Let's start with the fact that the Russians have been using Stalin-based proxy boards for three years now. They were initially used because in order to start a communication session, the terminal had to obtain its location and receive a PPS signal.

Ours quickly realized this and began to plug not the Starlinks themselves, but the built-in hard drive, preventing the terminal from starting a session, to which the piglets responded - they began to lower the terminals into pits or wrap them in a net-chain (later, the same approaches were used by the Iranians during demonstrations). In this way, the terminals were hidden from jamming signals, while maintaining visibility of the sky. It also hid them from the Mavics, who easily found hot plates in the forests. Well, later they came up with a proxy board that gave fake coordinates to the terminal and generated a reference PPS signal, for which a small metal pindiorin - a very stable generator - was installed on the board. Using a cheap subscription plate on a moving object is just a side bonus of these body movements. About a year ago, Starlink learned to determine coordinates from its satellite groups and the importance of the built-in GPS system decreased. And although Starlink's own navigation, in the best case, gives a standard deviation of about 20 meters, and in the worst case - up to 100 meters, while even a home GPS has a standard deviation of 3-5 meters. But this navigation is not stuck! And this had an unexpected effect - the terminals began to be used as analogues of expensive CRPA receivers. This is no joke - Turkish Tsrpa costs about one and a half rubles, and Mini Starlink costs 35 rubles. And I don't care about an error of 20 meters, entering the factory and such accuracy is enough! Musk closed the store on May 20, and stopped giving coordinates outside. However, the terminal itself can still use its own navigation. And now it knows exactly how fast and where it's going, even if the HDS is turned off or fooled by a proxy board.
